And we have a new mix for the month of August. By the band Troth from Newcastle, Australia. Along with this great mix we can announce that Troth will release their second album called ‘Oak Corridor’ on Knekelhuis. It will be the first release after summer, think Oct/Nov. 
The album recordings are just marvelous and have been our soundtrack for this moody summer, they glitter in utter beauty. 
Troth is the duo of Amelia Besseny and Cooper Bowman. Followers of the label recently discovered  their track ‘Calm Of The Shadow’ at album ‘and felt like…’ compilation. A document of magic still to come. 
So much excitement in here, lots of 4AD, ethereal, postpunk dubs and fun.

q. pls introduce yourself

Hi! I’m Madelyn, aka Slowfoam. I’m a very curious artist, musician, and DJ currently based in Berlin.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

I made this mix in my favorite place in the world, watching a sunset and swatting away mosquitos in Bogliasco, Italy in the midst of a pretty intense time… so, it’s as cathartic and emotive as the moment was. 


q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?

Zoning out while cooking soup or on a slow autumnal walk. But, ideally, you can just listen to it anywhere that feels right.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

It’s this giant expanding foam sculpture that looks like a butterfly hanging above our couch; a memento from a special weekend with friends in Prague.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

Yes! Too many! At this very moment, I’m developing a collaborative monthly show exploring utopia through sound called 'our tomorrow' on Internet Public Radio.

Origines Vol. 01: Ambient Album for the Ocean ♫

Saisons Musique artists coming together for Marine Life Preservation

Dear Friends and Ocean Lovers,

This Earth Day, we are excited to share Origines Vol. 01: Ambient Album for the Ocean, a fundraiser with 100% of net proceeds from Bandcamp sales supporting BC Whales and their marine conservation efforts.

Curated by Kora and Saisons Musique, Origines brings together diverse artists from around the world united by a common purpose: to honour and protect our oceans. The title reflects the profound truth that all life on Earth originated from the ocean—we are all connected to the water womb that birthed life itself.

The album features stunning visual art by Ioana Todosia: "Estero" Cyanotype textile print created on Pacific Coast of Oaxaca, MX. Ioana creates sun prints by dipping cloth into the ocean, allowing nature itself to create the art—capturing the traces where tide meets shore.

From Montreal to Oaxaca, Australia to Argentina, this international soundscape celebrates our global community while serving as both an ambient journey and a call to action. Each track is designed to foster reconnection—within ourselves, with each other, and with our planet, offering moments of reflection, resilience, and renewal.

The artists behind Origines believe in the power of art to inspire change. Together, we keep hope we can make a difference in protecting the oceans and the majestic beings that call them home.

Heartfelt thanks to Mathilde for her amazing research in selecting the right foundation, Elise for her help with project coordination and Elle for the marine life footage she documented oversea.

Thanks to all the artists for coming together.

Thanks to all of you for listening, sharing and supporting this project.

With gratitude,

The Saisons Musique family!

one day, a stranger will wear my face

A synapse-popping electro-acoustic soundwalk around Western Europe's cathedrals, chapels and churches, 𝑪𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒔 skews recognizable sacred soundscapes, proposing a contemporary mythology that muddles the past, present and future. Following on from his critically-acclaimed 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒔 full-length, American sound artist Jake Muir familiarizes himself with German and British sonic architecture by studying some of the medieval shadows that still hang over Europe's streets, even as they continue to evolve. Manipulating environmental recordings captured in Germany and England, Muir presents an impressionistic juxtaposition of parallel cultures: the UK's distinctive "change ringing" technique, where a team of bell-ringers play long varied sequences on a set of tuned bells; and Germany's more sober style, with monotonous peals that add rhythm to daily life.

When Muir moved from Los Angeles to Berlin back in 2019, it wasn't just the German capital's damp weather and long, dark winters that came as a surprise. He was immediately struck by the city's anomalous acoustics, and one particular element stood out: the resonant church bells that echo around Berlin throughout the day to mark time, and for 10 minutes on Sundays as a call for mass. Gathering his field recording equipment, Muir acquainted himself with his new home by following the sonorous clangs, wandering from kiez to kiez to capture each church's distinct auditory flavor. And the more material he collected, the more engrossed he became in the history of bell ringing, prompting a deep dive that would shuttle him across Germany and into Italy, Belgium and the UK.

On 𝑪𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒔, Muir trains his focus on Berlin, where his journey began, and on England, where he encountered the most elaborate bell ringing practice. 𝘌𝘳𝘻𝘬𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 is a hypnotic lattice of sounds recorded all over the German capital: at Parochialkirche, a reformed church in Mitte; at evangelical church St. Matthäus, at Sophienkirche, another Mitte landmark; and at St. Mathias, a Roman Catholic church just in front of the Potsdam Gate. By fusing the liturgical chimes with snippets of local ambiance - traffic, chattering tourists and birdsong, for example -  Muir takes a blurry snapshot of the city, queering its idiosyncratic color spectrum with his various digital processes. Using reverb to replicate the acoustic properties of both the streets and the church interiors, he subtly disturbs the timeline, stretching out brief peals into long, mesmerizing drones and turning garbled voices into ghostly babble.

The environment alters considerably on 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴; Muir uses the same technique and applies it to recordings made at the 1000-year-old St. Oswald church in Oswestry, St. Bartholomew's, Edgbaston and Holy Trinity in Stratford-Upon-Avon, home to Shakespeare’s final resting place. Here, Muir methodically untangles the change-ringing process, linking back to 𝘌𝘳𝘻𝘬𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 with a single bell tone before moving inside the church itself and documenting the ringers' shouted instructions, blending the calls with the bells' mathematical cyclic patterns. Muir memorializes what in 2025 is a dying art-form - a community skill that's disappearing worryingly quickly as young Brits lose interest in the church and its rituals. Unsettling distortions bite into the undulating sequences and underneath the noise, Muir highlights the music's latent euphoria, drawing out its most celestial tonalities.

File under: devotional music.
